there is no play in them. the tech at the dealership brought me into the garage and wiggled the tire while on the lift, and there is no play what so ever in each tire...they know i do my own work to it....but they said(and i knew) that i need sway bar end links, but ive heard of some that take out the sway bar for more flew when 4x4ing so im not worried about that.
I havnt used my track bar in years. The added flex was WAY worth the added (very minimal) leaning in the turns.

It flexes so well the diesel coil springs will fall out of the upper bucket. And that is with stock control arms. That is why I have stainless steel hose clamps securing each end ot the coils.

I love it, but my life hasn't allowed much play time lately with my 4 1/2 month old boy.
I love going to the Silver Lake Sand Dunes, and hitting up some difficult trails and hill climbs and such. I try to stay out of the mud though.

Ahahahah, that is quite a coincidence. My boy was born Aug. 15th.

95ram360, definitely change those axle seals. mine didn't start leaking until i changed the u joints. just remember to use plenty of anti-seize on the hub nut and all the contact points between the hub and the axle shaft/knuckle. with the anti-seize on there it will be easy to change the hub when it finally wears out.
olyelr, i thought you took your sway bar off. when i had my track bar disconnected, the entire axle shifted toward the drivers side. or the truck shifted toward the passenger side since the axle was on blocks, however you want to look at it.
halfamil, the NC DOT has an awesome road maintenance program. when a road starts getting cracks in it they'll just squirt that tar filler in there and it's good for another 5 years.
